My scouting report for Jared Sullinger used to read something like this:
“Big guy who likes to shoot jumpers but isn’t particularly good at them. Can rebound. Next Charles Barkley?”
My scouting was totally wrong, apparently. Because Barkley could never really shoot threes. Sullinger is apparently pretty good at them.I don’t think the rest of the league has realized this yet. The Blazers weren’t contesting very hard on some of his long bombs. For a mere $1000 dollars I’m willing to sell my amended scouting report on him to interested teams. Here’s a snippet:
“Is like Dirk Nowitzki and Charles Barkley combined”
